Gaza attacks Israel. Israel was treated, over the weekend, to a terrifying barrage of 40 rockets fired from Gaza at the small Negev town of Sderot. Hamas, the Islamic "resistance" movement, took full credit for the rain of Qassam missiles. Post-pullout Hamas rocket attacks on Israel were predicted but largely unreported. In attempts to be "even handed" the Palestinian attack was widely reported in the world press only as a "cycle of violence" story or as a "Hamas Ends Military Operations" story after Israeli retaliation. Sad.
